Safety Overview XW Series E-Stops Interlock Switches Enabling Switches Safety Control Light Curtains AS-Interface Safety at Work

Revolutionary “Safe Break Action” Design The IDEC Emergency Stop switches, the XA, XW, and XN series, include revolutionary new technology that will change the way E-Stop switches are designed. This “safe break action” concept provides greater levels of human safety and is the first of its kind in the world! Conventional E-Stop switches are designed with spring pressure on the Normally Closed (NC) contacts, keeping them in the closed position and allowing the machine to operate. Improper installation or excessive force to the stop button in an emergency may break or dislodge a vital part,...

Important Safety Information Overview X Series E-Stops have lower internal energy in the “Locked” (Latching) position than in the “Normal” (Reset) position. When the switch is damaged from an excessive shock, the main contact (NC) moves toward the OFF (Safe) position. Direct Opening Action XW Series E-Stops Even if the contacts are welded, the force applied on the button directly opens the contact. Rated Insulation Voltage: 250V Rated Thermal Current: 2.5A Safety Interlock Mechanism Contacts are opened when the operator is locked, and remain opened until the operator is unlocked...
